Donating Stock to Meeting Ground

As a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization, Meeting Ground, Inc. can accept donation of stock and other securities. You may make such donations either by electronic transfer of stock or delivery of stock certificate(s). The actual amount of your donation is determined by the actual date the stock was transferred, and you will be notified by your broker and by us as to the exact value of the gift for tax purposes.

Donation of stock by electronic transfer is, generally, an easy and relatively quick process. It is the preferable method under most circumstances, as it has the benefit of short transfer time and safety. You should direct your financial institution to make a direct electronic transfer to Meeting Ground, Inc.'s Vanguard Group brokerage account. Your financial institution needs the following information in order to process your donation:

Account name: Meeting Ground, Inc. Brokerage Account
Vanguard Brokerage Account number: 40V-186595
Vanguard Group's DTC number: 0443

When donating stock by electronic transfer, it is important to inform us about the transfer, either by phone (410-275-2936 or by email: info@meetingground.org) preferably before or at the time you initiate the transfer. Please provide us with the stock name and symbol, number of shares being donated, and the financial institution that is transferring the stock.

For your information, the Board of Director’s policy is to sell securities upon receipt. We are not automatically notified when stocks arrive in our account, therefore it is especially important that you inform us of your pending transfer. In this way we will be able to execute its sale in a timely manner. If you have any questions, contact us. Thank you!
